4 Day in dry immersion reproduces partially the aging effect on the arteries as observed during 6 month spaceflight or confinement

Abstract The objectives of this study were to determine whether 4 days of dry immersion (DI) induced similar arterial aging as spaceflight and to test the impact of thigh cuffs. Eighteen subjects underwent DI; nine wore thigh cuffs. Cardiac and arterial targets were assessed by ultrasound. No signif...
